Sheet Metal is Coming!

We know how important Sheet Metal is to you. We have been hard at work and are very close to releasing it to everyone. As many of you know, we generally don't announce new functionality until it's actually released. But because this is so important to so many, we wanted to make an exception. Below is a link to a sneak preview of the Sheet Metal functionality coming soon.

Wow...... very nice. After introduction of sheet-metal feature now many industry will think to choose Onshape as there primary CAD tool for design in future. By looking preview video I feel that sheet-metal of Onshape is simpler, faster and more user friendly than other cad tool. I am really excited to explore all feature of sheet-metal

as ever with Onshape you've taken what is available in traditional CAD and taken it to the next level. The sheet metal functions look sharper, more powerful and quicker than Solidworks. Looking forward to using them

Wow, after just a couple of minutes of playing with it I'm liking it a lot. Love the separate view cube for the flat view. Something similar might be nice in standard PS's to see multiple angles of the same part without having to keep spinning around.

Once again Onshape you're making it all look easy, my sincere congratulations on some exceptional work. Beer-o'clock for all involved I'd say.

Just started trying out the sheet metal and I ran into one problem. On our sheet metal parts we tend to put a chamfer or a radius on all sharp corners but when I try this on a sheet metal part I get the following error.

"Active sheet metal modules are not allowed."

I can "Finnish" the sheet metal part and add these features but they need to show up in the flat pattern.

@christopher_quijano although not as convenient as chamfer and fillet features, one workaround for now: You can create sketches and extrude-remove material. This works while still editing a sheet metal model and will show up in your flat pattern.
